Lock your car, take your......garage door remote!

We've seen an increase in 'theft from car' incidents lately.  My husband's truck has been hit twice.  This last time was just the garage door opener.  I know we all do it, we leave it in the car.  We don't carry our house keys, we enter through the garage, right?  It's the easiest way for a thief, too.  Please, stay safe!

These tips are from Mesa Police:

  • Remove remote controls from any vehicles parked outside
  • Park inside a garage if possible
  • Secure the garage from the inside
  • Use lighting to enhance surveillance
  • Secure the vehicle by locking the doors and rolling up the windows
  • Utilize a steering wheel lock
  • Remove any valuables from the vehicle
  • Document serial numbers from valuables
  • Mark your valuables with your drivers license number (radios, DVD players, GPS)
  • Contact the police if you observe suspicious behavior
  • Participate in the "Watch you Car" program
  • www.azwatchyourcar.com
  • If you become a victim, change your remote code

Let's talk Polybutylene!

With all the bank owned homes on the market now, it brings up the PB pipe issue. 

What is it?

Polybutylene is a form of plastic resin that was used extensively in the manufacture of water supply piping from 1978 until 1995. Due to the low cost of the material and ease of installation, polybutylene piping systems were viewed as "the pipe of the future" and were used as a substitute for traditional copper piping. It is most commonly found in the "Sun Belt" where residential construction was heavy through the 1980's and early-to-mid 90's.

What does it look like?

Polybutylene underground water mains are usually blue, but may be gray or black (do not confuse black poly with polyethelene pipe). It is usually 1/2" or 1" in diameter, and it may be found entering your home through the basement wall or floor, concrete slab or coming up through your crawlspace; frequently it enters the home near the water heater.

What if I have it?

The chemicals put in today's drinking water, (mostly chlorine) will cause the break down of the PB pipe and its fittings. The chances for a leak are extremely high. Currently, there is a fourth class action lawsuit underway: http://www.pbpipe.com/  Instead of waiting for this ticking time bomb to go off, call a plumber to have the pipes replaced with copper.  The cost is equivilent to new carpeting.
